Liturgical Offices for...

Dear Parish Members,

As Easter approaches, the Altar Guild kindly invites you to join us in enhancing our church's Paschal atmosphere by contributing to the floral decorations for the most important day of the year. 

Our goal is to adorn the Altar with beautiful bouquets.

To express our gratitude, we will publish a list of those we wish to remember through these flower donations. Envelopes for contributions can be found on the table in the Narthex starting this Sunday, March 17. Please include the Memoriam or Thanksgiving sheet with your generous donation.

To ensure timely arrangements, we kindly request that donations be made by April, 28. Your participation will contribute to a more vibrant and meaningful celebration of the Paschal season.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

"O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brothers and sisters who are sick."

For a Priest

Jesus, eternal Priest, keep this thy Priest, now unknown to our parish family, within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may touch him. Keep unstained his anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body; keep unsullied his lips, purpled with Thy precious Blood; keep pure and unearthly his heart, sealed with sublime marks of Thy glorious priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround him, and keep him ever spotless from the world. Bless his labours with abundant fruit, and may they to whom he has ministered be here below with joy and consolation, and in heaven his beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.

For the Increase of Priests

O Almighty God, look mercifully upon Thy Church, and incline the hearts of many of her sons to offer themselves for the work of the sacred ministry; so that by their labors, Thy Light may shine in the darkness of the world, and the coming of Thy kingdom may be hastened by the perfecting of Thine elect.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Reminder...
    
There is a list left in the Narthex for parishioners to remember those who need our on-going intercessions to God. The list is picked up after the Office by one of the Acolytes so they can be remembered. Customarily their names are mentioned in the Mass. However, remembrances and intercessions now are moved to the announcements in our Communion Service.
